James Murray letter:
The above is a List of Men and their Families that have been Employed at the Iron works near Three Rivers, in this government ever since the Reduction of the country, at which time they were prevailed upon by General Amherst to Continue working at the Forge upon his promise that they should be sent to England in His Majesty's Ships or Transports, free of expense. This therefore is to require you to give orders to the Masters of the Transports under your care, now bound to Ireland with the 44th Regmt. to Receive on Board and Victual the said Families in the same manner as the Troops are Victualled, until their arrival at Deptford, where they are to Disembark, and proceed to London with the Letter I will write concerning them to the Secretary of State. And you are also required to give orders for the Passage and Victualling of John Parker a soldier of the 27th Regiment, who is to pay for his Provisions as the other soldiers do; and Andrew McCulloch a Reduced Soldier from the 78th Regiment with his wife and one child, said McCulloch having lost his leg is recommended to Chelsea, is an object of Charity, and therefore is to pay nothing for his Provisions nor that of his wife and child, for doing of which this shall be your sufficient authority.~
